BPA-FREE Needle

BPA FREE Needle

The BPA FREE NEEDLE is made only from safe components, free from bisphenol-A, BADGE and titanium dioxide.

While thinking towards the future and committing to optimal patient safety, TSK’s research on new materials and new production techniques have made it possible to introduce the first true BPA Free Needle. This needle is manufactured without compromising on TSK’s high quality specifications and sets a new safety standard in the industry.

TSK Laboratory Introduces The First BPA FREE NEEDLE

The common use of epoxy in the manufacturing of hypodermic needles contains BPA or BADGE. The potential adverse effects have been reported as a result from the release of these uncured epoxy resin particles, and there continues to be uncertainties concerning the risks for patients and medical personnel.

The health risks associated with excessive adhesive particles and plastic particles entering the blood stream is judged to be very low during normal use, but it can reach unacceptable levels in extreme situations (i.e. pediatric intensive care units).

Another area that is being investigated is whether the use of titanium dioxide (TiO2) is actually needed as a coloring agent. It is unknown what the consequences are for the safety of patients as information on this is lacking in literature and little is known about possible exposure via hypodermic needles.

Needle manufacturers, notified bodies and competent authorities are responsible for continuously improving the safety and risk for public health, but according to the ISO 7864 standard for hypodermic injection needles there are no limitations to the amount of glue in hypodermic needles nor has there been any regulation around BPA.

TSK Laboratory, one of the leading hypodermic needle manufacturers, has been proactive with new production techniques to design the BPA FREE NEEDLE ™. This BPA FREE NEEDLE ™ is produced using only safe components in production, free from Bisphenol A, BADGE and titanium dioxide.

Features & Benefits of BPA FREE Needle

BPA FREE material

Free from bisphenol-A & BADGE

Free from titanium dioxide

The BPA FREE NEEDLE is produced using only safe components in production, free from Bisphenol A, BADGE and titanium dioxide.

External threading

Reduced pop-off risk

Prevents leakage

The BPA FREE Needle’s “advance hub” allows for an even tighter luer lock connection because of the built-in exterior treading. Preventing “pop-off” of the hub when exposed to high pressures.

Advanced hub geometry

Best possible flow rate

More controlled injection

Dermal fillers have a high viscosity and contain small particles that make injections more difficult. The HPC hub has a wider internal geometry for improved flow rates. The HPC hub also has an overall shorter length than the PRC hub.

ULTRA thin wall

35% less extrusion force needed

Smoother en more controlled injection

TSK has developed special dermal filler needles that have an ULTRA Thin Wall that increases the inner diameter of a 27G needle up to 24% and the inner diameter of a 30G needle up to 17%.
